Kind of cool, the wheels are normal steel wheels but have fake chrome covers over them. I like this idea.

Nate, that's nothing new Pontiac has been doing it for years. All the Chrome Grand Am wheels were done with the same process, it is pretty cool and they seem to hold up well too.

[WMCC Gary]

Looks like you had a awesome time.

the 300's have had the same thing for years. personally i think it's cheap and crappy. another reason for people to complain about the lack of quality in our cars. if i pay for chrome wheels, i want chrome wheels, not covers.

What do you mean?

So it's a steel or aluminum 5-spoke with chrome close-fitting cover over it?

you got it. reach your hand around a spoke and you'll feel the lip.

[MP81]

Wow...that's shitty.

[JoeliusZ28]

I disagree with you guys, I think its a brilliant idea and it probably holds up way better than real chrome that always peels. and when you do damage one, its cheap to fix. Besides, you cannot tell the difference just looking at it.

[TSTONE]

Wow...that's shitty.

why is that shitty?

the industry std has always been to offer a base level rim w/ a wheel cover(hub cap), GM just happens to do a nicer job than most in the cosmetic styling dept, many people now can't tell it is a cover - if your want a cast rim those are available as an upgrade

Well, I guess it depends on the price.

If I'm charged $1000 for chrome rims, I want real ones... Now, I guess these don't cost a lot...that's fine.

If I remember right the "Chrome Clad" wheels on a Grand Am intially cost something like $595 extra....later years they became part of a package deal and the over all cost was down.

"Chrome Clad" is not like a hupcap, it can't be taken off and put on...it is permanently adhered to the rim. It is very durable and fairly easy to maintain compared to real chrome.
